Wonderful stay
I wasn't able to go, but here's what my brother had to say: From even before we arrived, our host, Susan, was in touch and made sure we had access to get in as we arrived after flying overnight. This was a huge bonus, as we were very tired and didn't want to sit around waiting for check-in. Once we were there, everything we could possibly expect was exceeded in the conditions, cleanliness and the overall setting in this beautiful house. Cupboards stocked, all amenities available and organized. It was truly unbelievable and felt like we actually had a home in this beautiful area. 20 minutes from beaches, Melbourne center and all the shopping you could want. Plus many restaurants for all tastes. The layout of the sanctuary is unbelievable, the pool area is gorgeous and in fact, lawn was cut and pool cleaned while we were there. Truly the greatest part was the meticulous nature of how Susan hosts. Guidelines and considerations to make our trip smooth and eventful were abound with notes and an amazing binder for reference to all things Palm Bay and the surrounding area. This trip truly was plug and play paradise, greatly made possible by our gracious hostess. Would not hesitate to return, our only regret is that we didn't have more time to stay. Thank You so much for everything Susan

Florida Family Vacation.
Susan was amazing. We had everything that we needed. She even had a first aid kit. We had a problem with one of the blow up mattresses and she got us a new one with hours of telling her. I would highly recommend staying at her place.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Blesch

Host profile image
I am a semi-retired older young person. My home is my favorite place in the world. Offering it to travelers so that they can have the same experience on their holiday that I have every day is a gift to myself. I just love sharing my beautiful home with my guests and am always available with a text message. If you need anything at all or have any questions I will be available to you 24 / 7. If it is total privacy you want you most likely won't see me unless I am watering the plants by the pool or working out side. Please let me know if it is important to you that I meet you face to face. I like to meet my guests but will never invade your privacy.

Why they chose this property

What I love best about my Sanctuary is how open the floor plan is. If you are traveling with a large family everyone can find a private place or be in the middle of everything no matter what room you are in. Everyone is just crazy about the pool. It has a wading pool with fountain for the toddlers and even a lap lane for the swimmers. My guests just love playing water volleyball. The biggest problem I have is getting them to leave the pool area when I can see lightning on the horizon.

What makes this property unique

You don't need to pack towels, both bath and beach. Also, don't weigh your bag down with shampoo, rinse, and body wash. I will be sure there is plenty of those things for you. I try my best to be sure there are age appropriate pool toys and floats as well as sun block, beach chairs, and even a beach canopy you can take with you to the beach.
